Description

A quality, inexpensive, premier triple drum carder that comes fully assembled and is made out of solid, unfinished hardwood. The overall size is 15 inches long (not including the 12 inch pull out wool tray), 17 inches wide, and 10 inches high. The main drum or “swift” is 8.5 inches wide and 8 inches in diameter, and the other two drums, or “licker-in,” are 8.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches in diameter.

The pulleys and axles have been designed for ease of turning and smooth operation. The swift axle and bottom licker axle run on sealed ball bearings.  The top licker-in features an eccentric bushing for adjustability. It has a batt size of 8 x 22 inches and is ideal for most types of fibers. The advantage of the triple drum carder is it takes only half as much turning to produce the same quality batt!

Shipped with table clamp and doffer pick.

Available in:

“Standard” with 72 TPI on the licker-in and 90 TPI  on the main drum

“Fine” with 90 TPI on the licker-in and 120 TPI on the main drum

“Custom” with your choice of clothing combination – call to request a quotation.
